Abstract: Background and objectives: Assessment drives learning. Theory summative assessment must be aligned to curricular goals. There is wide disparity in the total marks for which the examination is conducted and total duration of time of examination. The main objective of this study is to report differences in summative assessments in anatomy subject conducted by universities with respect to maximum time, maximum marks, syllabus distribution of papers, assessment of diagram drawing abilities and emphasis on clinical anatomy. Methodology: During August 2018, an extensive search for the syllabus/curriculum document will was in the internet. In the respective university websites, the document with names 'MBBS syllabus' or possible documents with syllabus details of medical undergraduate anatomy subject were searched. Results: Information from 25 different universities conducting undergraduate MBBS degree programs were evaluated. Out of these universities, sixteen universities conduct summative exam for 3 hours. Eight universities conduct exams for 2.5 hours. State universities of Punjab, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu conduct anatomy exams for 50 marks with 3 hour duration. Whereas, state universities of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Assam and Odisha conduct exams for 50 marks in 2 lA hours. JIPMER, Pondicherry has two-hour exam for fifty marks. Only Karnataka universities [including Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences and three other deemed to be universities] and All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh conduct exams for 100 marks in 3 hours. Twenty-one universities have above diaphragm syllabus in paper 1 and below diaphragm in paper 2. Conclusion: It is the need of the hour to have a uniform, structured, objective and rationale summative assessments in anatomy.

AbstractA case of perforated transverse vaginal septum in the middle third of the vagina, in a 21 yrs old recently married lady who came for evaluation of dyspareunia at OPD of Gynaecology, Konaseema Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Foundation, Amalapuram, Andhra Pradesh is reported here. Diagnosis was made clinically and later on confirmed by USG. The patient was treated surgically by excision of the septum following which she conceived successfully. The patient is presently carrying 10 weeks as on the day of reporting and is under our constant follow up.

Introduction: Transmission of malaria through blood transfusion continues to be a major threat tosafe blood transfusion practice. Transfusion-transmitted malaria occurs at an estimated rate of 0.25cases per 1 million blood units collected. It is significantly more common in endemic areas. Aim: Tostudy the Seroprevalence of Malaria among the blood donors in the endemic areas of NorthernAndhra Pradesh. Materials and methods: The present survey was carried out at the blood bank ofMaharaja institute of medical sciences, Vizianagaram. This includes the analysis of seroprevalence ofMalaria in the blood donors during the period of 1 year from February 2018 to January 2019. Two mlof the blood sample was collected in the labeled pilot tube at the time of collection of blood fromdonor tubing of the blood bag. The serum was separated. The samples were tested for Malaria byrapid antigen detection test. Results: Out of the total of 3096 blood donors, replacement donors(86.91%) were more in comparison to voluntary donors (13.08%). The seroprevalence among thereplacement blood donors was more compared to voluntary blood donors. Conclusion: Voluntaryblood donation, increasing awareness about blood donation in the general population, selection ofrepeat, non-remunerated, regular voluntary blood donors and diligent donor selection, sensitivescreening tests are most important to increase blood safety and prevent transmission of Malariathrough blood transfusion.

Consistent Increase

Background: Knee angle shifts from genu varum (bow leg) in newborn to neutral (0°) in infants and thereby, it becomes genu valgum (knock knee) in childhood as child begins to stand and walk. This sequential growth causes variation in gait and posture particularly up to 7-8 years of childhood stage.Aims and Objectives:This study establishes baseline data of knee angle in Indian tribal children of Andhra Pradesh. Despite its clinical importance and social relevance, literature is scanty in Indian population especially in tribal children.Materials and Methods: Tibiofemoral angle (TFA) was measured clinically using universal goniometer in 360 normal Indian tribal children of 2-14 years age group. Each age group comprised of 15 male and 15 female children. Height, weight, body mass index (BMI), thigh length (TL), leg length (LL) and lower limb length (LLL) were noted for all subjects to establish their relationship with TFA.Results: It was found that physiological varus rarely persists after 2 years of age. Beyond 2 years there was consistent increase in knee valgus. A maximum mean knee valgus of 8° TFA was observed in girls at 6:<7 years, while 6° TFA was found in boys of 7:<8 years age group. Thereafter progressive decrease in mean knee valgus of 5-6° was seen up to 10:<11 years age group which in later ages stabilizes to 6-7° in both sexes.  The overall pattern of knee valgus was found to be higher in girls than boys. Data revealed significant positive correlation between TFA and other parameters in both sexes at p <0.05 significance level.Conclusion: Age wise knee angle values for 2-14 year age group tribal children of Andhra Pradesh provided by this study could be of potential benefit to the physicians, orthopedic surgeons, pediatricians, radiologists, and physiotherapists while evaluating growth related shift patterns.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(5) 2016 75-81
